Spanish coach Josep Guardiola, Manchester City's coach, said that he will learn about the physical condition of his players after the last training, in preparation for facing Luton Town tomorrow, Saturday, in the 32nd round of the English Football League.
Guardiola added, in statements published on his club's official website, that the physical condition of Phil Foden, the team's striker, will be evaluated before a decision is made to include him in tomorrow's match.
He added that Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson will be a starter against Luton, after missing the last match against Spanish Real Madrid last Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which ended in a 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Manchester City coach refused to decide on the position of his defender Kyle Walker, as he confirmed that the player, who recently missed the team’s matches due to injury, is still undergoing evaluations by the medical team, before a decision is made for his return to participate in the matches.
When asked about Rodri, the team's midfielder, feeling exhausted from participating in matches recently and his need to rest, Guardiola explained that if the player is tired, he will not participate.
Manchester City occupies third place in the English Premier League standings with 70 points, one point behind Liverpool, which is in second place, and leaders Arsenal.
